Show Info  The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
by Stephen Adly Guirgis
Directed by Aliah Whitmore

 

Featuring James Whitmore, Jr. and Aliah Whitmore, son and granddaughter of James Whitmore, the man for whom the theatre is named.

Set in Hope - an area of downtown Purgatory - The Last Days of Judas Iscariot dares us to take another look at the fate of history's most notable sinner. With testifying witnesses ranging from Mother Theresa to Sigmund Freud to Pontius Pilate, this darkly-comedic courtroom drama questions widely held beliefs about the character of Judas, his relationship with Jesus and the Apostles, and his eventual judgment.
One of this generation's most gifted playwrights, Stephen Adly Guirgis unabashedly tackles some of the world's tough philosophical questions while finding poetry in the "street talk" vernacular of the everyday common man. "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot" ranks high among Guirgis' award-winning works, which include "Jesus Hopped the A Train" and "Our Lady of 121st Street." His plays have delighted audiences around the globe, and will continue to do so for many years to come.

Show Info  Much Ado About Nothing
 

The Porters of Hellsgate present,
William Shakespeare's
Much Ado About Nothing

Directed by Charles Pasternak
Produced by Eddie Castuera and Jack Leahy
Starring Gus Krieger as Benedick and Jennifer Bronstein as Beatrice

"A promising young company with a fine handle on iambic pentameter."
-David C. Nichols, LA Times

"Worthy of comparison with the Mercury Players."
-Amy Bowker, Tolucan Times

"A group with promise."
-Jeff Favre, BackstageWest


The Porters of Hellsgate are proud to open their second season with William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Set in 1946, as the boys return from war, we can watch with wonder as war thoughts left vacant are turned to love. Lead by the famously sharp wit of Benedick and Beatrice and their merry war, plots arise, vows are broken, but love, of course, wins the day.

The Porters, as always, intend to present Shakespeare for Shakespeare's sake, without ulterior motives or political bias.

"There's nothing worse than watching a Shakespeare play performed badly. Conversely, witnessing Shakespeare played out by an inspired cast is not only a wonderful theatre experience but also a celebration of the genius of this master wordsmith. Most of the bard's work performed in L.A. falls somewhere in the middle. So it is a refreshing change to see one of his most dramatic works done so well here."
-Jim Crogan, BackstageWest (on Julius Caesar)
